Getting to know Heather Kainz

I get it! Asking for help is HARD. Especially when you wear ALL of the hats-student, parent, spouse, friend, employee, boss. It's exhausting trying to keep everyone else happy and everything around you running smoothly. You might find yourself worrying about everything else and forgetting about yourself. Then, add a stressful or traumatic upbringing or event to the mix, and you may start wondering who you are, what makes you happy, how you're going to get through this, and how you even got here in the first place. Things can get tough, but I am here to help you through it.

What should a new client know about working with you?

To help reach your goals, improve quality of life, manage your emotions, set healthy boundaries, effectively communicate your needs, and safely process trauma I utilize an individualized, trauma informed, and culturally sensitive approach to therapy. I believe in treating the root cause of your symptoms. I specialize in trauma and utilize EMDR, CBT, and DBT to help you find yourself again.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I understand, being vulnerable is scary, asking for help when you are the one everyone leans on makes it even harder- I've been there! But I assure you, if you are ready to put in the mental work and set aside some time to focus on yourself we can get you back to feeling like yourself again.
